IRENE representatives, pay very I'M
partial and complimentary tribute,
to the English Jubilee. They, as a
rule, record the development OF
British material prosperity and Colo
NAL strength. But above all, they
dwell in the spectacle of all parties
uniting to honor the personal worth
of q sovereign, who has never
deviated from the paths of womanly
reetitude. A few journals appear
to be dazed by the spectacle of so
many crowned, and to be crowned
heads, gathered together. Very
many Inhabitants have left here for
London TO witness the rejoicings Of
a great nation. The English colony
in Paris, has on the whole done its
best to come out jolly, if not strong.
The juveniles have had their picnic,
games, and toys; the working men
and women, have had their dinner:
the superior" colonists, had their
select banquet and ball and Lord
Lyons gave an Almack Garden
Party; there was concert for all
who could purchase tickets of adj
mission, and the special church SER
vice organized by the interchangeable
and popular British chaplain, Mr..
Gill, was, along with the hoi polio
dinner, the most successful parts of
the fete. Indeed the whole success
of the jubilee joys were secured by
the persevering efforts of the Messrs.
Blorunt and the Rev. Mr.. Gill. A
A good many English residents re-
NAMED in their North Paleisolution.
The only regret was they did not
represent their absence by sending
their smallest contribution to the
Jubilee Fund. One leading French
man remarked: The English missed
a splendid opportunity of exhibiting
their unity-that of meeting in q
common banquet, and applying
democratic principles to roast beef,
beer and plum-pudding-it was
bringing the insular, the caste habi-
tudes TO a jubilee, that the French
criticised. Perhaps at the Queens
centenary, English manners will
have levelled up more to the French
water-mark of that social equality,
where intelligence and moral worth,
constitute both q qualification and
an ideal.
The Foreigners Bill, as the
measure is briefly described for
regulating the nationality of chill
dren born of foreign families perma-
nently settled in France, may likely
be voted this session. The old
measure was, to draw the sons of
such parents into the trawl-net of
the CONSUMPTION and compel them to
fill the food-for-powder role, while
minimizing their political rights.
The amended measure will compel
the son of parents of second gener-
alton, in attaining the age of 81, to
declare, what nationality he will be-
long to. If he decide to be French,
he will be rewarded by right to
become conscript, to pay taxes,
and ito run after official appoint
ments. At present he has to pay
all taxes-save that of blood, but
cannot exercise any civic or political
right, or help to swell the admins
tration budgets.
The new Minister of Agriculture
has come to the relief of distressed
farmers; he will increase the num-
Der of admissions to the Order of
Agricultural Merit-a ribbon and a
cross in breast coat button hole.
The Chinese fashion of crystal but
tons and peacock's feathers, is
much more demonstrative. 1t will
soon be difficult to find a person in
| France without a coat decoration.
The Shah Of Persia ought to be able
to repel an attack from Russia by
the fees his Treasury receives, for
decorating those who can pay for
the vanity. At the late fire in the
Opera Comique, a gentleman who
escaped, wrote TO send ON his coat,
if among those forthcoming: "You
Will recognize it from its having no
decoration" The Legion of Honor
was intended originally only to re-
compense soldiers; now it decoratea
every one who is distinguished, and
many who are not. Agriculture has
its special order of button-hole dis
tinctionj SO has the university; ex-
Minister Locking founded an order
for the knights of Labor. Are there
any more classes to be decked?
1t does not pay colners to work
on gold money; thus, to bring out
piece of 20fr. they must expend
l7fr., profit only Str. plus board
and lodging for life at the expense
of the State.
